Sometimes we need cute. Just to stay happy. And often the cute will involve things that don’t make sense. Like fake cardboard. And robots. And chargers for telephones and tablets.

This Robot Head Phone Charger is clearly the result of a deranged imagination, but for some reason it actually works. The device is apparently the No 1 charger in Japan, so that’s saying something, but for the more practically minded it will charge up an average phone a couple of times at least.

Ridiculous really. The important thing to remember is the eyes light up if you press its mouth to indicate how much charge is left. Deranged. Yours for a bizarre $58.29 / £34.99.
